Alternate Edging by Marsha E. Seiber
To use Marsha's edging, complete pattern through round 33. Then work the following 2 rounds.
Alternate Edge:
Rnd 34: sl st into next sp, ch 1, (2 sc in each ch-2 sp & 3 sc in each ch-3 sp) around, join.
NOTE: To work reverse sc, you simply work an sc in each st around working to the RIGHT, rather than the left.
Rnd 35: ch 1, sc in same sp; work reverse sc in each st around, join, Fasten Off.
